Bangtan Boys (BTS)

UPDATE! WE DID IT! Goal met and exceeded! We are currently at $7,787!

You guys are honestly amazing. I know I speak for the other mods when I say we are blown away by your generosity and so proud of this sub. And I know that Jin would be proud of you too! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH for donating and sharing and being the wonderful humans you are!

The drive will remain open until July 9, so if you want to continue to donate and share, please do!

💜 Borahae, ARMY! 💜

ARMY is a force, right? Our fandom has a history of supporting important causes on a global scale, and we want to continue that tradition by raising funds for World Central Kitchen in honor of Jin’s homecoming and 2024 FESTA!

---

World Central Kitchen (WCK) is a global organization that helps provide food during humanitarian, climate, and community crises. From providing fresh meals to refugees in Ukraine, Gaza, and Palestine to feeding those displaced due to historic flooding in Brazil and wildfires across the US, WCK is helping lead the way to ensure people worldwide receive fresh, nutritious meals in the wake of disaster.

---

To celebrate Jin’s return and to commemorate the 11th anniversary of BTS, our goal is to raise $7,777 to support WCK in their efforts. To assist in meeting that goal and beyond, we are proud to announce that our donation drive will be powered by Reddit Community Funds, which has generously agreed to match eligible donations up to $7,777*.

Donation drive will end July 9, 2024, on ARMY day. The day BTS gave us our name and we started our path to 'ARMY Forever, BTS Forever."

(*Reddit will match up to $7,777 of eligible donations made to Tiltify fundraiser(s) run by r/bangtan for the World Central Kitchen by July 9, 2024 with a matching donation to the World Central Kitchen via Tiltify.

*Offer valid only on donations made to the Tiltify r/bangtan fundraiser(s) and does not include donations made to individual charities, charity campaigns, the donation of securities, P2P or third-party events, API donations, and the purchase or redemption of gift cards.)

I just got curious because I passed by a tweet on twitter that said there was a time yoongi said jin-ah and I don't know if it's true. Were there any instances where the members referred to jin informally? I recall them (mostly hobi) referring to Jin as just Jin, but in a playful manner. What I haven't heard is them referring to Jin as Jin-ah or Seokjin-ah yet, but maybe I just haven't looked through enough videos/content (I'm baby army). Thanks to everyone who will clarify this information!

RM & j-hope commented:

🐨 wow so annoying*
🐿️ wow cute
(* “킹받아“ is online gen z slang that combines 킹 (king) + 열받다 (getting angry) to emphasise the anger/annoyance but in a joking manner)

Hi all! I've amassed a pretty decent BTS collection over the years, but unfortunately I really need to save up money and clear up some much-needed space on my shelves, so the time has come to pass on my treasures from one loving home to another so they can be enjoyed instead of collecting dust on display :’) I've been trying to sell my collection for about a year now, but I realized I never posted it on this subreddit before so I thought I'd give it a try!

**SEE TABLE FOR ITEM DETAILS AND PRICES (IN $CAD)*\*

**Click item name to view detailed images*\*

Payment method: PayPal (G&S, buyer covers fees), or eTransfer*

*Canada only—must be sent before item(s) is(are) shipped, or, if in GTA, before you collect your item(s) in person

Price does not include shipping; if you are interested in buying, please DM me to temporarily reserve and we will discuss shipping options/cost before you make your purchase!

Shipping cost will depend on package weight & size, destination, and available Canada Post options. I will do my best to pack each item safely and securely; however, I am not responsible for lost mail or any damages during shipment.

Alternatively, if you’re in the GTA, I’m happy to meet in person to give you your purchase and will accept cash/eTransfer to avoid fees and shipping costs, if you prefer! (I previously sold a signed album on this subreddit and did a meetup with the buyer, and it went very smoothly!)

If you reserve an item, I will send you a timestamped video of it before requesting payment (for authenticity/security), and I will send another timestamped video/picture of the package with confirmation of shipment.

All items have been opened and gently used/loved (and all DVDs work!), but I treat everything I own with the utmost care as best as I can (some have flaws and/or signs of wear that were unavoidable)—I have treasured each and every item in my collection over the years <3 Almost all of my albums are first press (from Dark & Wild onwards for sure are, not certain about 2 Cool 4 Skool and O!RUL8,2?)

I live in a smoke-free, pet-free environment, and all orders will be cleaned/dusted before shipment!

Lastly, please feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions/concerns or if you're interested in any of my items! I'm open to negotiating within reason and bundling items, so don't hesitate to reach out! Thanks for taking the time to read through my long post <3

Hello!! I am currently planning on traveling to South Korea and being there starting June 10th 2025 or so and being there for 2 weeks. I will be going solo so I was wondering if there was anyone else in the group planning on going solo that would like to create a group? DM me if you’re interested! ☺️

Planning on staying in Seoul around festa days for any events then heading to Busan, Gyeongju, and Jeju island so far but don’t have any concrete plans for after festa.

Info on me: I’m will be 24 next year and have been an Army since 2020. I am from the United States. My biases are Jimin and J-hope. I’ve never been to a full BTS concert but I went to j-hopes lollapalooza set and suga’s d-day tour! 💜💜💜

A pilot crashes in the Sahara Desert and encounters a strange young boy who calls himself the Little Prince. The Little Prince has traveled there from his home on a lonely, distant asteroid with a single rose. The story that follows is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking meditation on human nature. The Little Prince is one of the best-selling and most translated books of all time, universally cherished by children and adults alike, and Richard Howard's translation of the beloved classic beautifully reflects Saint-Exupéry's unique and gifted style, bringing the English text as close as possible to the French in language, style, and spirit. In this special edition, the artwork has been restored to match in detail and in color Saint-Exupéry's original artwork. This definitive English-language edition of The Little Prince will capture the hearts of readers of all ages.

It has been recommended by multiple members and was the inspiration for Jin's famous Moon performance.

Rm tamagotchi?

I’ve recently gotten seven bts tamagotchi’s from five below. I want to collect every member of bts and so far I’ve gotten every member except Rap Monster.

There’s no info online about how to get him. Does anyone know. Every post I’ve seen just says that they don’t know what they did and they didn’t do anything. Which I’ve tried and it didn’t work.

I’ve been trying for weeks. Pls help

Could be a solo song or a group one, for me it's Lonely by Najmoon (been at my lowest lately)

Half of the year is already done and various magazines/media have been releasing their list of their most important albums so far.

One of those albums is RM's 'Right Place, Wrong Person' which was released in May 2024.

It's been so great to see how much praise this project has received and how it has resonated with so many people.

What do you think about what this means for BIGHIT?

You think they will push it for Grammy season?

I personally find it so heartwarming that a project that is so Namjoon has been praised so much (and that he's aware of it!!!!)
